 ### Project
 
 Bacteria often live together and interact with each other in densely packed communities. Such communities live in our digestive tract and are essential for our health. Critically, changes in the community diversity (number of species), productivity (total biomass), and structure (who-is-next-to-who) can lead to chronic and life-threatening diseases. It is a great challenge to study and understand these bacterial communities, especially at the micrometre length-scales at which they naturally occur. New methods are urgently needed to build simplified bacterial communities that capture the complex arrangements and interactions of different bacteria found within us.
